Spring has finally arrived properly here in Wisconsin. Enjoyment of the sunshine and warm breeze is a cathartic experience after the tendrils of winter held on so long again this year.

That aside, it's important to note that we'll be on hiatus until late May or possibly early June. We're giving ourselves some time to get the "studio" fully set up in a new location. We're moving it out of Jacob's spare room and into Amanda's basement/sex dungeon/home for wayward Pagans. The new location should be a good fit for us.

Because some episodes and even entire podcasts have vanished unto the ages already - their audio files scattered to the four winds.

For now, at least we have the The Pagan Podlist. This excellent website captures many of the active, on hiatus, and out-of-production Pagan pod…
